Documents on file with CB offer few details about the fate of the space on St. Mark's Place, but we now know who is hoping to take over the bar: Robert Ehrlich, the founder of Pirate Brands, which makes all-natural snacks including Pirate's Booty, Smart Puffs and Original Tings.

There's not a lot of information on the CB3 forms. The applicants are calling the space a tavern, with hours starting at 11 a.m. ...

There's also mention of a "local regional menu."

What about snacks?

In addition to his healthy-snack empire, Ehrlich operated several cafes in Sea Cliff. We sent an email to a Pirate Brands media representative last night in hopes of getting more information about Ehrlich's plans for the space. So let's wait and see what's in store here...

Also, someone did fax the form to CB3 from Pirate Brands ... in case you were questioning this...

i take this as very good news. if we have to lose the holiday, better this guy than some a-hole. i know that place in seacliff - extremely laid back, good vibe.here's hoping for the best!Hey Robert Ehrlich, please don't change it too much! (Don't mess with perfection : )

I know one thing that would improve the bar, at least for the bartenders. Make an opening in the bar so they can just lift a section instead of having to crawl under every time they have to get out from behind the bar. I asked Stefan why he didn't have this and he just looked at me like I was crazy.

Does this mean free bar snacks? I'm kinda hoping the decorate like the interior of a pirate ship. At this point, why not have a Pirates of the Caribbean themed bar, complete with water slide and canons. Maybe Keith Richards will guest bar tend.
